First Baby Sweater
This is the first baby sweater that I made. It was for my daughter.
It is the first shaped item that I did and worked on.
It wasn't the easiest of tasks at times but I muddled through and it came out great.
And as you can see, it still fits her a yr later, don't know how much longer but still works for now

Crib Cover
Started making this after I found out that I was pregnant with number 2. We didn’t want to spoil the surprise so I made it neutral so it could still be used.During the holidays I had forgotten it at the in-laws but was still able to complete within the time when I got it back.
Baby 2 came home in the blanket.

Blue Blanket - Baby
Not sure of all the sexes but if I make a few of each style then they will all be covered.
I am starting with one then on to the others.
This is a work in progress. But it is a start.

The blanket is about 1/3 done at this time. I am having fun with it and it is working up like a charm.

At this point I am half way through the yarn that I have for this blanket so I would dare to say that I am half way done. Will need to get another colour to do the border on it. I am loving the way it is working up and how fast. I am also working on a blanket from left over worsted weight to donate to charity.

This will be the blanket I hope that will welcome Raistlin William Amyotte to this world. I am currently saving my pennies to try and make it out there for when he comes.
I already am proud to have him coming and love him so much.

Charity Baby Blanket
I think I did a great job on it...now to send it to Walkerton to Mikey for The Crochet Crowd.
Joee kept trying to play with it thinking it was another blanket for her to play with...she loves her blankets

Baby Cocoon
I started this yesterday between other projects and household work.
Being a stay at home mom can be great...get to spend time with the most important people in my life and do what I love to do...take care of them
now to find a little one to make sure of the size.

Christening Set
Started a Christening Set on 24-2-11 and it is coming along perfectly.
I am almost done the gown. It is so light and airy. With a light lining done it will be perfect for any time of year.
I think I know who I am making it for but we never know. I might find something else that I like after getting this one finished...
Unfortunately I will have to find something else to make for my daughter for her Baptismal as these patterns don't go up to her size and her father and I have stalled on the decision...mixed families...gotta luv us

finally finished the item just have to do the finishing touches...
Finished this in a week-end. Just a basic variation of the granny square. I think somewhere it might be called a Lemonade Stitch but not sure.
I had a blast making this one and didn't even realise till I went to put in my 3rd colour on another scrap wool baby blanket.
Getting some of my stash used up and this time was very cute...or at least I think so

Rainbow Brite Star Blanket and Blue
These are 2 of the 3 star blankets I have done.
The first one is a Bright Rainbow style for my sister and her new baby. My Nephew Raistlin will be the envy of the Day care with this blanket.
I
made a 2nd one and don't have pictures of it. I made it as a gift for
someone from Swap-Bot. A wonderful giving woman. I received some
templates for learning to smock and am on my way with that.The 2nd blanket is for a swap for an item for my oldest Daughter. She is a fan of the Heath Ledger Joker so my partner is making her one. Just hope she likes it.

Rainbow Baby Sweater
This is the sweater I have started for my nephew Raistlin (Elmo). I love the colours of this yarn. It is the new Mosaic by BERNAT. It feels like a cotton rather then an acrylic and is just so light yet warm. This is going to go nicely with the Rainbow Brite Star blanket I have made for him already.
This is going to be one of the Christmas presents from me. I started on this the day after I received the yarn on my way home from Creativ Festival.
I worked with Michael Sellick from
The Crochet Crowd. He is the one that
introduced me to this wonderful product.
If you notice the Jelly Belly Tin in the background it is holding my stitch markers/paper clips and it is a Tin. I love it as well.

Completed the sweater next to buttons but have a bag of some that would be perfect, different colours and all the same shape. Thanks to a swapper I have met.
I hope it fits at Christmas as it is for a 6mth old and he is growing like a weed. 2mth old as of Sun and is getting to be a big boy. Can't wait to meet him and spoil him in person.
I just love this one so much. I love the way the colours lined up. Had to work the yarn a little bit but not much.
This will go so well with the Rainbow Brite Star blanket I have made for him already. With the deeper colours it is suitable for a boy or a girl, and perfect colours for fall and winter.
